5LittleSloths:
MonkeySee,MonkeyDo:
Five little sloths snoozing in the trees.
One lost his grip and bumped his knees
Mama said, “a tree’s no place to catch your zzzzz’s
Let’s find a cozy bed for my sloth babies.
The monkey clap clap claps his hands
The monkey clap clap claps his hands
Monkey see, and monkey do
The monkey does the same as you!
All the little sloths have climbed down down from the trees
Each one has a cozy bed for catching zzz’s
Mama said sleep well if you please.
I’ll see you in the morning my sweet babies
Replace “clap” with: jump, run, crawl, swing in trees, say "oo oo
ah ah", spin, etc.
